Hey, I am a regional rep for Antiquities and Creative Touch Portrait Fundraising.
We have been in business for more than 20 years and specialize in church and school fundraisers. We have also worked with adoption agencies, relay for life, and many other non-profit organizations.
We have a variety of programs from old time sepia children’s portraits to full color, modern day. To give you a brief example of the profits you can earn:

Photograph 60, profit $1000
Photograph 80, profit $1500
Photograph 100, profit $2300
Photograph 150, profit $3600
Photograph 200, profit $5100
Photograph 300, profit $7600
Photograph 400, profit $10000

It is a super simple program with you invest no money. Coupons for a free 10×13 portrait are sold to families for $10. That is 100% profit to you and in addition, you earn cash bonuses based on the number of sittings photographed.

If you would like some additional details and information, please contact me at 1.800.871.6255, ask for Melisa

Good luck with your fundraising venture!

I am persuaded that if you are called by God to foreign missions you should approach you church leadership for ideas. If they feel you are right for the position the church will supply your way and cover the costs. I think you are talking about Home Missions. In such a case you might also want to consult your church elders about funding part of the trip for you. Otherwise the things you mention are good starters. What about doing small chores for your neighbours (especially the older ones) That way you don't only earn you missions funding but those people get help with things they need. I think of Spring yard cleanups and so on. Every home owner does it but some are not healthy enough to do it themselves. since it is open to everyone in the church seems to get me thinking that the church would be more apt to help. However from small towns come small churches and the wherewithal to SUPPORT may not be there. How much time do you have before leaving? Cleaning out eves troughs, shovelling walks, I am not familiar with your community but I am sure God will open doors if it is His will you go.

If your real goal is to help people who need it, why do you have to go on a trip? Why can't you save all that travel money and help people in the town where you live? If the real goal is the trip, then drop the "missions trip" pretext and just admit that it's a vacation.

What the hell?

Are you going on a month trip around the world?
NOTHING costs that much for one person, let alone a child.

You're being ripped off.

Don't. Not everyone wants to be Christian. Use the money to send FOOD not BIBLES to starving people instead.
